If Leicester win the league, and after beating Manchester City on Saturday, they were favourites for 24 hours before the Arsenal game, then it will cost us £1million.
Mahrez made it 2-0 with a step-over and finish, and Huth found space to head home a Christian Fuchs corner before Sergio Aguero’s late consolation.
While Leicester are able to concentrate exclusively on the remaining 13 Premier League fixtures, all their rivals have cup and European commitments and he said: “In England the football is always of a high intensity and wipes people out”.
Will Leicester win the Premier League? .

“I literally wish I could play football every day and can carry on playing”, he said.
Claudio Ranieri has opened up on the secrets behind Leicester City’s stunning title challenge in a far-reaching interview with Italian media.
“I am supremely confident that Smokescreen will be able to have a new van and keep on touring around Lincolnshire and we might even be able to afford a promotional CD”. The Foxes made a bright start to the game after defender Robert Huth handed his side an early lead inside three minutes, scrambling in a Riyad Mahrez free-kick from close-range.
The former Chelsea manager has revealed how he set about establishing a bond of dressing room trust that has helped Leicester’s season to flourish beyond all expectations.
“I am very happy that he stays with us for long”.
“I have a player who arrives every morning from Manchester, one from London”. We want six points and we are now focused on the next game. It is basically the same group of players who have continued the fantastic ending to last season.
Liverpool, with goals from Roberto Firmino and Adam Lallana, were 2-0 up when numerous home fans left and they at least missed their side’s capitulation as efforts by Adam Johnson and Jermain Defoe, a minute from time, earned Sunderland a point.
